Shuffle Meme Thing Malarkey

[apolla]

The subject of the shuffle button on playlists has come up a couple of times on my friends list lately in the form of a kind of meme.

Now, never let it be said that I am not the sort of person to take up the challenge of musically themed meme. Mind you, I never use shuffle and love the sequence my music has taken, so this is weird for me. Appreciate my discomfort as this begins:



1. April Come She Will - Simon & Garfunkel
2. Boys in the Backroom - Marlene Dietrich
3. Danny Boy - Harry Connick, Jr.
4. The Irish Rover -The Dubliners and the Pogues
5. If I Had Three Wishes - Dean Martin
6. Farewell To Ireland - The Dubliners
7. Ossie's Dream (Come On You Spurs) - Chas n Dave & Tottenham Hotspurs
8. Hard to Handle - Otis Redding
9. Can't Buy Me Love - Peter Sellers
10. Wild Wood - Paul Weller
11. Red Sails in the Sunset - Dean Martin
12. Living Doll - Cliff Richard (best you don't ask how my nostalgic little mind works sometimes)
13. Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
14. I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester - The Wurzels (call it Buzzcocks issues)
15. Lili Marlene - Marlene Dietrich
16. These Foolish Things - Nat King Cole
17. Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
18. Besame Mucho - Dean Martin
19. Cockles & Mussels - The Dubliners
20. Within You - David Bowie
21. Miss Judy's Farm (Live 1973) - The Faces
22. Love Man - Otis Redding
23. In The Lap of the Gods Revisited - Queen
24. Mr Soft - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
25. Bye Bye Blackbird.

Apparently someone wanted me listening to an Italian, a German, some Irish and Otis Redding tonight. Fair enough.
